From THE annualrepor;sr recently present.
ed 20 the general assembly of The knights OF
labor, it appears that while III" membership

have greatly increased. This fact has al

within the order, aud is likely 10 provoke p
great deal more, as the members who are
assessed to support the order naturally 90

squaudered in luxurious living by those who
don't work at all. The general assembly
has also resolved that the boycott on the

The EicSf Medical Writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be

Tips for Sleeping Car Porters.

The American people do not take kindly TO
tips. They are willing to pay handsomely
and literally for any service, but TO be
obliged to pay as reward for civiities a
portion of the salary Of the person who rem
ders them is always regarded as an inpoSi-
ton and an outrage.
The discussion regarding the receipts Of
sleeping car conductors shows that the COM
panies running the cars take this advantage
of the generosity of the travelling public by
which the salaries Of their porteTs are paid.
4 porter receives SIS month-not enough
to pay for either his meals on the road, his
rent, the support of his family or the clothes
the company compels him 10 purchase. The
living expenses Of this employe Of the COM
many must he made up by the travelling pub
iic, WHO, in paying for their bertbs, pay
enough to cover all that a porter could be
reasonably asked by the passenger to do. On
a trip 70 New York . passenger viii pay the
porter more money for perhaps twenty min
utes' service than the company does for lis
whole time in the care OF its property
The duties of the porter are clearly de-
fined. and if he is asked by passenger to do
something not obligatory on him The ps.Ssen-
ger should pay him But for the passenger
TO be asked TO pay fifty cents for blacking his
boots in order that forty five cents Of it may
pay the porter for taking care Of the CON-
pany's dirty linen at the end OF the route,
can be defended on no principle OF honesty
or decency 1t is wholly wrong and iniqai-
;ous, and should he stopped Chicago News

\ Shivering Old Man.

One very cold night last winter Twas walk
ing down Fifth avenue with two other men,
when the younger of them stopped us, rather
dramatically, and drew our attention to the
shivering figure of an old man who had actu-
ally mounted the fence that surrounded one
of the most magnificent of the show houses of
New York 1t was the residence of q famous
millionaire We had been to a card party,
and it was after o'clock. There was snow
in the streets, but the sidewalks were clear,
and, as the moon shone brightly, objects were
almost as distinct as at midday In front of
the house the entire sidewalk had been car
peted, and rugs two or three deep added to
the softness of the steps. At least thirty feet
of the sidewalk was inclosed by canvas, SO
that it was virtually ROOM Covered
awnings stretched up the steps into the house,
and other awnings projected over the gutter,
so that the carriages could drive up, and
their occupants step fir ON their vehicles into
what was practically lighted and heated
canvas room. Twenty or thirty footmen
were arranged in double lines down the steps,
special officers were at the doorways, and brill
liant hued wraps and fur overcoats were strewn
about. Pedestrians who chanced to be walk
ing along at that hour of the night were al
lowed 10 pass through IAe room, uiluei lue
watchful eye Of the police. For.blocks Fifth
avenue was massed with carriages. We
glanced at this, and then our companion
again drew cur attention to the old man, who
was standin, on the fence and trying to peer
into one Of the big windows of the house.
That's old Jameson" said the man with
US, in whisper.
What is be trying TO dor
at seems like novel, doesn't itl The fact
is, the old boy is trying to catch glimpse OF
his son and daughter. The son leads the
cotillion there tonight He inherited his
money, you know, direct from his grand
Gather, old Jameson being Intentionally over
looked. Poor old boy I'd go up and speak
~ him, but am sure it would hurt his feel
ings more than to think that he Is not OBJ

Chinese Animal worship.

At recent meeting of the Pekin Oriental
society, Mr.. Owen read a paper on animal
worship among the Chinese He referred to
the worship paid to the fox, weasel hedge
hog and snake, to which at Tientsin is added
the rat. The first four are called the immor-
tails These deified animals seem to usurp the
entire attention of the people, even to the ex-
clusion of the Buddhist and Taoist gods. DR..
Edkins quoted from the Chinese to prove that
animal worship was unknown i'll ancient
times, while DR.. Dudgeon pointed out that it
was mistake to suppose that animal wor-
ship was confined to the four animals men-
toned. The horse, cow, dog, insects, dragon,
lion, ETC., are worshiped. In the fifth month
the centipede, lizard, scorpion, frog and snake
the five poisonous animals as they are
called-are also objects Of worship English

4 Matter for Thought-Roads

Good roads not only save horse
flesh, but vehicles. Take what are
ordinarily called "good roads and
"bad roads," and a vehicle used on
the first only will last twice as long, at
least, as one used on the latter only.
No one can doubt that country roads
would be 50 per cent. better than they
now are, If the labor and money put
upon them were properly applied.
How to have that work and money
properly applied is the matter to be
discussed now, and the best methods
may be ready for adoption when the
season for road-making comes.
Whether or not the road-be should be
only surface drained or under drained
with tile, or by putting IN a corduroy
foundation; whether or not gravel
or plank should be used; how best
to gravel, or plank, or tile-these are
points to be decided upon before
spring. The Farmers Club should al
80 discuss specifically the repair OF
each highway in the neighborhood.
This will lead, among other things, TO
an understanding whether or not it
will be proper to shorten q highway
by Strengthening it; whether a road
that now goes around hill should be
carried over it by grading down the
hill, or whether making a road longer
by carrying it around hill will be
compensated for by the less grade;
how to keep weeds from growing in
the highways, to seed the adjacent
land, and many other points which,
thus being settled, would greatly add
to the Improvement OF the roads

To Cure a Stumbling Horse.


Some good horses, says the Pitts
burg Stockman, are addicted to
stumbling while walking or moving in
a slow trot. A well-versed veterinari.
an states that there are two causes
that would tend to produce this faulty
action; one general weakness in the
muscular system, such rs would be
noticed in tired horse; the other, a
weakness OF the exterior muscles OF
the leg, brought about by carrying too
much weight on the toe. To effect a
cure, he adds, tighten the weight of each
front shoe about four on .ces have the
toe OF the she made of steel instead
OF iron; it will wear longer; have
it rounded OFF about the same as it
would be when third is worn out, in
order to prevent tripping; allow one
weeks rest; have the legs showered for
few minutes at time with cold wa
ter through hose, in order to create
spray; then rub dry briskly from
the chest down 20 the foot. Give
walking exercise daily during the week
for about an hour twice day. When
YOU commence driving again, omit the
slow together walk or send him
along at sharp trot for G. mile or
two, then walk away, but do not
speed for at least several weeks By
this means the habit OF stumbling
from either Of the above causes will be
pretty we'll overcome.
